"The record strongly suggests that the reasons given for designating Anthropic a supply chain risk were pretextual and that [the government's] real motive was unlawful retaliation."
"By granting the preliminary junction, she found Anthropic was 'likely to succeed' in its lawsuit against the government and therefore, the 17 federal agencies named as defendants... are not allowed to implement the orders."
"After Anthropic refused to accept new contract language allowing 'all lawful use' of its Claude AI by the military, President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to 'IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology.'"
Federal Judge Rita Lin issued a preliminary injunction in favor of Anthropic, indicating that the government's designation of the company as a supply chain risk was likely pretextual and motivated by unlawful retaliation. The injunction prevents 17 federal agencies from implementing the supply chain risk orders until the lawsuit is resolved. Anthropic's refusal to accept new contract terms led to a directive from President Trump to cease using its technology, prompting the company to file lawsuits against the government in response to the designation.
